"Its a War on Some Drugs. Not Theirs"

Antifascist Calling...

Daniel Hopsicker's back with another "World Exclusive" at MadCowMorningNews.

Posted today, the article provides new details on an additional four American-registered drug planes seized "from the 50-plane fleet of drug-running aircraft amassed by Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel," Hopsicker reports.

But what will make the piece noteworthy to Cannonfire readers are allegations that figures of interest in the illicit transactions "include backers of two of this year's Republican candidates for President."

Hopsicker writes:

The Republican connection begins with the statement in court filings that the money to purchase the planes was laundered through a bank which is almost invariably described as "fast-growing" in admiring business news articles.

The drug money was wired, usually from Mexico, to an account at Commerce Bank in Miami, whose Chairman, Dennis Nixon, is the South Texas Co-chair of John McCain's campaign.

Nixon was also a Bush Pioneer and Ranger in George W. Bush's two Presidential campaigns, raising $300,000 in one night for Bush's re-election bid in Texas border town Laredo.

High-profile Texas businessman Dennis Nixon's bank is even--in one of the sales--involved on both ends. Money was wired from Mexico, first to an account at Commerce Bank in Miami, then on to International Bank of Commerce (IBC) in Oklahoma to complete the sale.

Dennis Nixon's International Bancshares of San Antonio owns both banks.

The second Republican connection is to has-been, oops, make that "also ran," Mr. 9/11 himself, Rudy Giuliani.

Describing the sale of a Grumman Albatross seaplane apparently sold to the Sinaloa Cartel, Hopsicker reports,

The seaplane, or "warbird," as aircraft broker sites call planes decommissioned from the military, was owned by Jay Koven, whose construction company built Rudy Giuliani's Emergency Command Center in Building 7 of the World Trade Center.

According to investigative reporters Wayne Barrett and Dan Collins, writing in the September 6, 2006 issue of The American Prospect, Koven and his partner Jack Shafran, gave Rudy $4,000 at a party at "the behest" of WTC lessor Larry Silverstein. " Shafran told TAP, "Attendance was obligatory." ... "The invitation meant we were expected to give a contribution."

Hopsicker, following up on the alleged seizure of the Albatross, informs us Koven told him,

"The plane was not seized," ... "I still own the airplane. I can't really tell you anything, and I'm not at liberty to say more about what little I do know. But I can tell you... I'm just a normal guy with an airplane I'm trying to sell."

He gave the phone number for an aircraft broker who's currently advertising the Albatross for sale, and the broker confirmed that the plane has not been seized, and is for sale.

Fair enough... El Nuevo Herald described the plane cited in a grand jury indictment in Miami Federal Court as a Beech King Air (N7027Z), whilst Koven's plane was a Grumman Albatross, another N7027Z. Why then, the confusion?

Could it be, once again, a case of Company misdirection, another scheme to muddy the waters via a dizzying array of ever-changing and identical registration numbers?

After all, not one but two SkyWay Aircraft are part of the tangled web, both located not fifteen minutes down the road from each other and in Ft. Lauderdale to boot. Confused? Then mission accomplished!

But the strangest revelation may link the ultra rightist Moody Bible Institute's Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) and one of its planes, another Beech King Air (N50AJ) to the tale.

Long considered a CIA- and Rockefeller family front, SIL, employs "linguistic and Bible translation" as a cover for stealing indigenous people's land across Asia and Latin America for their donor's cattle ranching, oil drilling and other "development projects. Learn the language, subvert the cultural integrity of the "target" tribe and the rest is simple...

Drugs, spooks and Bibles...wherever is this leading!
